    50K with Title. Tank is spotless inside. 2020 tabs, so not sitting forever. All trim pieces present, except for the side stand cowl... of course. Accessory center stand. No seat cowl.

    All I can say is that's obscene what you find and end up paying.

    Decided to use some alum tubing for temporary PAIR Valve deletes until I remove the hard pipes and make block off plates later.

    I was going to have them beaded at work but the diameter of the PAIR valve outlets is slightly smaller than what I had access to easily. Tight fit without a bead, not going anywhere.

    HOW DARE YOU!!! :Rofl: jeez, her parents need to be caned in addition to her, exploiting your kid is disgusting.
    I ripped all that shit off my two gen3ers, I did not have the CA smog crap though. You may have different cams in that beast you know.

    Yeah, not a big deal about the cams if they are CA. It will still run great. Of course I'll be on the look out for a good deal on some nice 49 state cams to plop in when the engine comes out at some point in the future.

    Right now it's get it running to verify things and make it a rider until it's resto.

    Well shit.

    I'm not surprised, but I was really hoping to run it on the old boots before buying more parts. Insulators and pilot jets are on the way.

    I have to figure out a bump pad tho, as it's fairly unique.

    The 92 fuel pump got donated to the 90 to get it sold. The 92 pump was pretty sorry looking too, but it worked.

    The replacement just arrived. Genuine Mitsubishi off of a YZF with 14K miles. Looks brand new.

    PXL_20220616_212059668.jpg

    $30 shipped. Just need to remove the bracket and slide it into the rubber holder.

    Just came back from there, could have brought it home on my carry on LOL - btw, don't know if you know this, but the times of check on luggage are over if you wana keep your sanity. Switch on tele this AM and low and behold an aircraft crashed at Ft. Lauderdale Airport. I was thankful, I never laid a hand on that carrier, some new one from the DR.

    Trip was great despite getting the coof at some point, which rendered me going to the Rhine to watch my kid play in the river while I got some rays, Nurburgring was amazing, as the general driving experience. I did more car driving in 3 weeks than I have done in a year here LOL may upload some boring fast car pictures in the future.

    Gona install my new clutch slave that was waiting for me today possibly. Work tomorrow. Peace OUT

    Picked up some 49 state cams.

    PXL_20220719_160106072.jpg

    I wasn't gonna bother (at least not right now), but I got all 4 from the same 1993 VFR for $65 shipped. They also had a return policy, so it was very low risk. Well they look great and now I have them when I do the first (for me) valve check on the bike.
